[email protected]: Marquette Law School Poll has consistently asked registered Wisconsin voters about their family situation. Striking decline in WI voters reporting that they are living comfortably since late 2020.

Really interesting discussion from @pollsandvotes.bsky.social showing college voting wards in Wisconsin. Modest Republican shift in university areas, suggesting possible modest student shift rightward.

The great @pollsandvotes.bsky.social providing the deep dive on Wisconsin 2024 election data. The figure on the right shows ward level change in vote share for Trump between 2020 and 2024. Only tiny shifts at the ward level: incredibly stable presidential vote choice in 2020 and 2024 in Wisconsin.

Prof. Bernard Fraga presenting "Shifting Right or Sitting Out? Black & Latino Voters: 2016-2024." Shows very large shift to GOP by Black men, continued shift to GOP by Latinos & Latinas. Some evidence of Democrats' base staying home in 2024. #ERC2024ElectionSymposium

I spent some time this morning diving into the admirably detailed polling methods for the NYT/Siena poll to understand how they weight on party in states like WI that don't have party reg and don't record which party primary you participated in. 1/2
